FORKED.gg
FORKED.gg
Forked.gg is the infrastructure layer for resilient, player-driven game ecosystems. A community-owned node network, real on-chain ownership, and the tooling to bring stalled games back to life. Built by operators who learned web3 gaming the hard way.
Early web3 games collapsed under fragile economics, short-sighted leadership, and token designs built for extraction instead of durability. Speculation drowned out gameplay. Central control quietly replaced the decentralization those projects claimed to stand for. Players were left disillusioned and communities walked away.
Forked.gg starts from what actually worked and what actually failed. The goal goes past the next launch cycle to durable infrastructure that lets real game ecosystems survive market swings, outlast their founders, and stay owned by the people who play and run them.
We put the whole philosophy in writing. Zero team token allocation, seed rounds disclosed in the open, and rewards that only reach the people running the nodes. We are not asking you to trust that. We are asking you to check it, watch what ships, and decide for yourself.
Read the Forked ManifestoForked.gg was previously known as Helix Games. The rebrand resolved naming and copyright requirements, including re-issuing the token under the new $FORK ticker. Every node operation, license, and token balance established under Helix carries over and is honored in full.
These are operational requirements that decide how the ecosystem gets built, funded, and governed. The platform is engineered to hold to them.
In-game assets exist as player-controlled primitives anchored on-chain. Custody, transfer rights, and long-term control stay with the player, not the platform.
Node operators and contributors submit proposals, debate, and signal consensus through verifiable on-chain voting. Smart contracts execute once thresholds are met.
Control is distributed across operators, developers, and players. No single entity sits permanently over the rules, the economics, or access.
Players and builders get direct mechanisms to shape priorities and direction. The influence is real and operational, not a suggestion box.
System changes, governance outcomes, and economic parameters are visible and auditable using standard on-chain tooling.
Outcomes reward mastery, coordination, and strategy. Economic advantage is bounded so capital cannot simply buy the win.
Ship improvements without breaking the things people rely on. New capability should not cost anyone the reliability they already depend on.
Governance, infrastructure, testing, feedback, and community leadership earn standing, not only financial expenditure.
Clear standards of conduct for everyone in the ecosystem, so it stays a place people actually want to build and play in.
A lot has changed since we kicked this off, and we have given away a huge number of nodes, so plenty needs reworking. A revised version of the whitepaper is dropping soon. Get ready for it.

Forked.gg unifies several technology stacks into one architecture. Each piece does one job, and together they cover ownership, distribution, governance, and recovery.
Put your game knowledge to the test. Skill-based prediction markets on live in-game and on-stream outcomes, settled with a full audit trail and a dispute path.
Explore →200,000 capped node licenses, each an NFT, carrying hosting, content delivery, and earnings for the verified work the node performs.
Explore →Asset exchange and player-driven economies powered by Rarible. Web2 studios enable trading straight from existing databases, no full on-chain migration.
Embed ownership and on-chain logic into existing games with no rewrite. In-game triggers map to on-chain actions while gameplay stays familiar.
Gameplay becomes a monetizable asset. Capture, package, and distribute your best plays. Value is earned by the quality of what you contribute rather than your follower count.
One node, one vote. On-chain proposals backed by economic commitment, directing a community grant pool funded by daily emissions.
Explore →A recovery framework for abandoned games. Communities take ownership through on-chain coordination and keep promising titles alive.
The Forked.gg predictive engine. Markets on what is actually happening in the game and on the stream. Does the streamer get the kill in the first three minutes? How many times do they say the word? Stake your conviction in points, and the pool pays the side that called it.
Any qualified participant defines a single, verifiable outcome with an observation window and a resolution rule, set at creation time.
Viewers allocate points to the outcome they believe will happen. Points are a unit of conviction and standing, framed around skill rather than chance.
In v1 the streamer or an authorized manager settles the market against its rule set, with a full audit log and a dispute path. AI-assisted and API-based resolution comes later, only where it can be made reliable and auditable.
The distributable pool is split among everyone on the correct side, proportional to what they staked. Correctness and conviction get rewarded.
Now live
FORKcast is live. The cred-only, points-only build is up: a one-time 1000-point grant per player, pari-mutuel pools, manual and AI resolution, and the live stream embedded right on the market page. Head over and call your first market.
The node ecosystem is the foundation under every core service. Operational responsibility is spread across thousands of independent operators, which is what keeps the platform resilient, available, and resistant to capture.
Issuance favors long-term operators and aligned stakeholders over short-term speculation, reinforcing reliability.
Participation rights are minted on-chain. Transfers are restricted during a stabilization period, then freely transferable.
Nodes carry distributed hosting, content delivery, and redundancy for games and marketplace services.
Operation is decoupled from transaction execution. Rewards track service quality: availability, consistency, reliability.
Base requirements to run a node on a standard VPS or a capable home machine, expected to rise as the network grows, so operators should plan for headroom. Setup follows the LFG Node CLI guide. The reward formula is still being defined.
200,000 licenses in total. The price starts at $500 and rises $25 for every 100 licenses claimed, up to a $10,000 ceiling. The price is the cost to claim a license, not a promise of return.
Aegis is the decentralized decision layer for the ecosystem, first proposed by founding advisor Jason Brink as open, permissionless tooling free for any project to use. Forked.gg runs it that way. Even Forked itself follows the same proposal, burn, and voting rules as everyone else.
Governance is initially scoped to a grant pool equal to 20% of daily token emissions, funding developers, infrastructure, and ecosystem initiatives. No one has unilateral access.
Voting power is not weighted by stake or balance. Influence is held by operators actively sustaining the network, verified online in real time.
A network-wide vote needs at least 250 operational nodes to signal support, each committing an economic burn. Spam and low-quality proposals get priced out.
A simple majority with at least 51% approval, and a quorum of at least 25% of active nodes on a rolling 30-day average. Thresholds are themselves governable.
Node identity is NFT-verified, votes are recorded on-chain and immutable, and every action carries a mandatory economic commitment. Together that makes governance attacks economically irrational rather than merely discouraged.
$FORK is designed as fuel, access, and an integrity bond for the ecosystem, not a passive-yield instrument. The model below is a proposal for review. Figures are provisional and are not a promise of value. See the risk and legal notes.
As part of the rebrand from Helix Games, and to meet naming and copyright requirements, the token is being re-issued under a new ticker, $FORK. A snapshot of all $LIX balances has already been taken. Snapshotted $LIX will be swapped to $FORK automatically at 50 : 1 (50 $LIX to 1 $FORK), so holders do not need to take any action. $LIX is officially no longer supported. Do not buy, sell, or transfer $LIX. The snapshot is complete, so trading it now will not change your $FORK allocation.
No insider pre-allocation. Emission and allocation rules are enforced by publicly verifiable contracts, with safeguards against excessive accumulation.
A deterministic, contract-governed issuance schedule, released from a capped reserve on a declining curve. Predictable for planning, with protection against runaway inflation.
There is no "stake your tokens and the protocol prints you more" yield. Operators earn for verified service; contributors earn through governance-approved grants.
Core logic is decoupled from any single chain. The first deployment target for $FORK is BNB Chain, and the system is not bound to it.
Daily emissions are drawn from the Emissions Reserve and split 90% to node operators and 10% to the DAO Grant Pool governed through Aegis. The company takes 0% of emissions. The rate declines on a published schedule as the reserve draws down.
The team holds zero $FORK. The only upside for the team is equity in the operating company, so there is no founder bag to unlock and no insider supply waiting to sell. No cheap private or VC rounds.
Proposal for review. Supply, allocation, and the emission curve are provisional and subject to legal review before any external use. Nothing here is an offer or a promise of profit.
Target windows are still being set. The phases below reflect the actual build state rather than a wish list.
Cred-only, points-only streamer prediction market: accounts, markets, staking, manual resolution with an audit log, brand UI. A working, auth-gated app with data that survives a restart.
Hardened auth, hosted deployment, the dispute flow, and the net-worth leaderboard in front of real users.
$FORK design finalized with counsel, the node-license model and economics defined, and independent security audits commissioned.
The Marketplace, the Game Integration SDK, and the DAO Launchpad come online on top of the node network.

Participating in digital assets and tokens carries real risk, including total loss. This is a summary of the main ones, and it is not financial, legal, tax, or investment advice.
Tokens, node licenses, and prediction markets are regulated differently across jurisdictions, and the rules are changing. Features here, especially any cash on-ramp or cash-out, may be restricted, delayed, geofenced, or changed to comply.
$FORK and node licenses may lose value or become worthless. Burns, emissions, and other mechanics manage supply. They are not promises about price.
Bugs, exploits, and smart-contract failures can cause loss. Audits reduce this risk but do not eliminate it.
The project depends on its team and may not deliver the roadmap on time, or at all.
Some capabilities depend on third-party platforms and partnerships that may change.
Assets may be illiquid or volatile.
